Pull the sheets up high
I don't want to see today
Oh Hattie lock the door
And send the maid away
Sitting here waiting, waiting for the lights to go out
I got a sorry heart and a busted home
A sour fiddle and horsehair bow
I beat a path to hell same as any man
Sinnin' goes better with grinnin' I hear
I'll wear a smile from ear to ear
And try to kill those lights the best I can
Half bourbon and half shame
Half Irish Cherokee
On the banks of Angelina
Where she kisses all the creeks
Sitting here waiting, waiting for the lights to go out
I'm dressed for resignation
Cause who am I alone
Well ain't that water lucky
It can run until it's home
and I'm sitting here waiting, waiting for the lights to go out
I got a sorry heart and a busted home
A sour fiddle and horsehair bow
I beat a path to hell same as any man
Sinnin' goes better with grinnin' I hear
I'll wear a smile from ear to ear
And try to kill those lights the best I can
A shiny white incisor
In the pocket of my shirt
A drunk'll bleed out faster
But nothing really hurts
Sitting here waiting, waiting for the lights to go out
They'll wipe away the mess
With the Sunday morning news
There ain't a lot to see
From the bullet that he used
Sitting here waiting, waiting for the lights to go out

Garden in the Grave

Burn everything that’s left
There ain’t much to see
A lonely man’s a loaded gun and I’m drunk in the armory
Got a feelin’ for the odds
They’re feelin’ pretty high
Showing off this losing hand a corner at a time
There ain’t a garden in the grave
Ain’t a garden in the grave
Close as I will come to resting easy
There ain’t a garden in the grave
Ain’t a garden in the grave
Don’t you do me any favors
Ain’t a garden in the grave
When there’s trouble ‘round the eyes
And tossin’ in the night
Cause everyone I ever loved has gone and seen the light
Wash the worry from my face
Press my wedding clothes
Gonna dress the part if I’m to see you again I suppose
There ain’t a garden in the grave
Ain’t a garden in the grave
Close as I will come to resting easy
There ain’t a garden in the grave
Ain’t a garden in the grave
Don’t you do me any favors
Ain’t a garden in the grave
A bad land and a bended knee
Howlin' in the shade
It's been a chasten heavy, it's been a year today
Dry horse and a heathen heart
A heavy handed pair
You can lead me to the water, better drown me when I'm there
You can lead me to the water, better drown me when I'm there
There ain’t a garden in the grave
Ain’t a garden in the grave
Close as I will come to resting easy
There ain’t a garden in the grave
Ain’t a garden in the grave
Don’t you do me any favors
Ain’t a garden in the grave
Ain’t a garden in the grave

Ryan Necci and the Buffalo Gospel delivers through a virtual “who’s-who” of crack Midwest musicians who have assembled around Necci’s heartfelt and heartbreaking songs. Their wildcat live performances take listeners to a dusty, forlorn, but strangely familiar place that simply gets sweeter with time. ... more

Catch My Breath

Phil's a fantastic musician, songwriter and human. He's worked with us on a number of projects and just released this beauty of a record.

You're Dreaming
by The Cactus Blossoms
Been pretty obsessed with the Cactus Blossoms lately and this record has become a fave. Timeless songwriting and ridiculous vocals. I'll take all I can get.

A Small Death
by Samantha Crain
This record is a masterpiece and I recommend it to anyone who asks what I've been listening to lately. Vocals, songs, production... I can't say enough. Don't wait - put it in your ears.

Another solid effort start to finish. Very much a life lesson storytelling lyricist. To me still is very similar to James McMurtry which is not a bad thing. Looks like another album is dropping soon. That’s good news.
